Storage of viscous substances

ABSTRACT

A storage device has a stand ( 3 ) and container ( 2 ) the stand and container of the invention provides an organised and tidy means of storing wallpaper paste-adhesive ( 11 ). Which-efficiently uses the space available furthermore the stand ( 2 ) and container ( 3 ) of the invention provides for people by being paste table ( 12 ) waist height hence easier excess to the paste-adhesive ( 11 ) when wallpapering. It is preferred that the device furthermore comprises of an air tight lid ( 6 ) which may be replaced over the opening of the container ( 2 ) when not in use. In using the air tight lid ( 6 ) the paste-adhesive ( 11 ) stored there in the container will not turn into a unusable watery consistency due to exposure to air. Preferably the invention further more comprises of handles ( 8 ) to provide an easy means of moving the device around when this is required. Alternatively or in addition the device preferably still the container has one or more at least one but preferably a plurality of attachment means there on where by a paste brush or paste roller ( 10 ) and other decorating implements such as a paste mixing tool may be reasonably attached to the device when not in use and removed when required not shown in FIG. ( 10 ).

This invention relates to paperhanging tools/decorating tradepaperhanging decorating tools comprise of

(1) pencil/chalk line

(2) paperhanging brush/spatchlor

(3) paperhanging knife/blade

(4) measuring tape

(5) paste brush/roller

(6) sponge

(7) spirit level/plumbob

(8) paper seam roller

(9) paste table

(10) a bucket or the like of

In the decorating/wallpapering trade it is known to use a bucket or thelike of for the storage of wallpaper paste-adhesives.

Where by a brush or roller is coated with paste which is then applied tothe surface as required.

However a disadvantage of this form of storage dispention is that whenthe brush or roller is dipped directly into the bucket of paste it willbecome overfull resulting in the user having to scrape the excesspaste-adhesive off.

This will make unnecessary mess and result in unsatisfactory coverage ofthe paste brush or roller with wallpaper paste further more the adhesivewill clog the brush or roller resulting in an uneven application ofpaste-adhesive to the surface it is being applied too.

Further more of the bucket or the like of there is no easy means ofaccess to the bucket or the like of always having to bend downcontinually to apply/load paste brush/roller with paste-adhesive.

For example by elevating the bucket or the like of on top of paste tableto gain easier access to the bucket of wallpaper paste-adhesive wouldwaste valuable space

there is no-easy means of access to paste-adhesive when the bucket orthe like of is at ground level.

There is also no airtight lid for a bucket or the like of when not inprolonged use in not having a airtight lid the paste-adhesive will turninto a unusable watery state if left exposed to the air when not in use.

There is also no means of plurality attachments means there on where bya paste brush or roller and other decorating implements such as pastemixing tool may be reasonably attached to the bucket or like of when notin use and removed when required.

An object of this invention is to provide a device for the storage ofviscous substances wallpaper paste-adhesives and furthermore the deviceprovides for people of waist height.

In this way the container does not have to be stored on a paste table orthe like of which would waste valuable space and nor does it have to bestored at ground level.

Which would result in the user having to continually bend down to loadhis/her;s paste brush or roller.

The invention comprises of a container and stand which elevates thecontainer to the required height waist/paste table height fromground-level which gives you easier excess to the container and hencethe wallpaper paste-adhesive more preferably the stand ishollow-base-shell-designed.

The container comprises of having a base and side walls extendingupwardly there from where by at least one side of walls has a reductionin gradient in this way the container of the device may be filled withwallpaper paste-adhesive up to the level where the first reduction ingradient occurs in this way the wallpaper paste-adhesive is held withina reservoir.

Formed by the side of the walls having a change in gradient and when auser wishes to load a brush or roller with wallpaper paste-adhesive hecoats/loads the side having the reduction in gradient with thepaste-adhesive from the reservoir which is them applied to the surfaceas required.

The stand of the device interlocks with the container female-malefitting which holds the container of the device in a substantiallystable position by having the correct/correspondent reductions ingradient which fits the reductions in gradient of the containerresulting in a accurate-fitting-shape-design.

Preferably the device is made of a substantially resilient material suchas plastics but any other suitable material such as metals.

Handles is included for the device for ease of carrying when required.

the device of the invention further comprises an airtight lid which isplaced over the opening when the device is not being used to stop thepaste-adhesive from turning into a unusable watery state.

There is also a 2 in 1 device which consists of stand and containerwhich is manufactured in one unit which will be at paste table heightfrom ground level

which consists of side walls extending upwardly there from the sides ofthe walls has a reduction in gradients.

In this way a reservoir is formed for the wallpaper paste-adhesive thesedevices our proper suited for both paste brushes and rollers.

A special embodiments of the invention will know be described by way ofa example with reference to the drawings.
